It must be obvious to defense that they are drawing out the testimony of this witness for too long. Constantly repeating over and over the same point. It is obvious, too, to the jury that Jodi was found guilty of 1st degree murder - extreme cruelty by the first jury. The message seems to be to attack the victim to make what Jodi did look as if she was somehow justified, which is never going to work when she has had a year to work on showing remorse for what she has never done. Instead she seemed very much occupied with making a living from prison. Defense has to know this so I'd guess Jodi is still running the show against the DT's advice. jmo

I think Nurmi is in complete control and completely responsible for this train wreck. However, I think Jodi would like to be in control and when sentenced, will whine about ineffective counsel. She cannot show remorse. There is nothing inside her to show remorse.

ETA: LambChop, I mean he is totally responsible for the trial. Jodi owns everything else.

AZL, 1st question of the day - if, and I mean IF, JSS grants state's motion to strike the Compaq, can the state then request any/all testimony given concerning pedophilia be stricken? Or just anything pertaining directly to the HDD? TIA!

I wish she'd magically develop/get a conscience in which case she'd be mortified by her actions, would readily admit to murdering a WONDERFUL man in cold blood and would spend the rest of her days in repentance.

Rose, I consider myself cautiously optimistic, and I think she'd rather get run over by the reindeer.

There is a book (avail on Amazon/kindle) called The Slumber Party From Hell. Written by a lady who did several years for a white collar crime in Perryville. It's a brutal, miserable place

An inmate serving 27 months for a prostitution died from heat exposure after jailers left her in an outdoor cage for four hours in 107 degree heat

Marcia Powell was a 48-year-old inmate who died May 20, 2009 after exposure to 107-degree temperatures for four hours in an outside cage at Goodyear's Perryville Prison. Prison policy limits such outside confinement to a maximum of two hours.[4] An autopsy report showed that Powell had first- and second-degree burns and a core body temperature of 108 degrees. She suffered burn blisters all over her body. The county medical examiner found the cause of death to be due to complications from heat exposure.[5] According to a 3,000 page report released by the ADC, she pleaded to be taken back inside, but was ignored. She was also not allowed to use the restroom, and as a result, died in her own excrement.[6] Prison administrators fired, suspended or disciplined 16 corrections employees over Powell's death.[7] The Maricopa County Attorney's Office chose not to prosecute Arizona Department of Corrections staff in her death, claiming that there was "insufficient evidence to go forward with a prosecution against any of the named individuals".
